Success for persistent parent in complaint about RE at an academy
NATRE was approached by a parent who was dismayed that discrete lessons in RE were being replaced by a combined life skills style programme and wanted to challenge the academy about it. The document below sets out the two year journey towards the re-establishment of RE at the academy. We hope that it demonstrates that it is possible to take action when pupils are not receiving their entitlement to RE and secure a change.
Minister for Schools; Nick Gibb MP has repeatedly suggested that, people concerned about the level and quality of provision for RE to use the statutory school and academy complaints process.
